Intel(R) XPU Manager is a free and open-source tool for monitoring and managing Intel Data Center GPUs. It is designed to simplify administration, and to help in improving device utilization and maximizing their reliability and uptime. Intel(R) XPU System Management Interface (XPU-SMI) is a command line interface (CLI) to manage GPUs locally.

The following instructions apply to Ubuntu (using APT).
Because a Linux distribution may not ship all the driver packages required by
XPUM, or may ship versions older than required, first configure your APT
repositories to add the kobuk-team/intel-graphics PPA, as explained in the
"Installing packages from the Intel PPA" section of the
Intel GPU driver documentation.
This PPA provides both the Intel GPU driver packages and xpu-smi.
Option 1: Install from Intel package repository
Install xpu-smi and its (driver) dependencies:
sudo apt install xpu-smi
Note: The version published in the Kobuk PPA may lag the GitHub releases by a few weeks, so this method may not install the most recent build. If you need a release immediately after it is published, use Option 2 below.
Option 2: Install from releases page
Download XPUM packages (relevant for the host distro) from the releases page.
Install them:
sudo apt install ./xpu-smi_*.deb
Installing from the local .deb path with apt resolves the driver
dependencies automatically. If needed, they can also be installed explicitly:
sudo apt install libhwloc15 libpciaccess0 libigsc1 libze1 libze-intel-gpu1
Troubleshooting
Installation may fail if the driver packages are too old for this version of XPUM. A newer version may be available from the Kobuk staging repository.
If that does not help, run the following to fix broken dependencies:
sudo apt --fix-broken install

Latest installers / binaries can be downloaded from the XPUM release page.
XPUM Daemon is available as a container image, please see xpumd README.
